“Francesca was a fantastic tour guide who was very knowledgeable (an archeologist too) and communicated the information in an interesting manner and timed the tour at a perfect pace. 2 very tall flights of stairs to climb for tour of Doge and steep, extremely narrow staircase down from prison to ground and stairs upstairs to terrace of St. Mark’s Cathedral so need to be mobile without bad knees or hips.”
Skip-the-line access to Doge’s Palace and St Mark’s Basilica, plus Bridge of Sighs, gold mosaics, and terrace views from Venice’s heart.
“The tour involved approximately 1 hour 15 minutes in St Marks Basilica and 1 hour 15 minutes in Doge’s Palace. Our guide was very knowledgable and interesting to listen to. She had a good breadth of information to convey. Both buildings are beautiful to look at and the interiors even more so. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour However we think it might have been beneficial to have split it up into 2 separate tours? That way we could have lingered in each building at our leisure without needing to move onto the next All in all a very enjoyable afternoon Would definitely recommend you visit these when visiting VeniceRead more”
